To find the scale factor, we need to compare the corresponding side lengths of the two parallelograms.
Let's compare the base of the parallelogram:
Parallelogram on the left: 1 in.
Parallelogram on the right: 3.5 in.
To find the scale factor, we divide the corresponding side lengths:
3.5/1 = 3.5
Therefore, Kamla used a scale factor of 3.5 to create the parallelogram on the right.
1 in.
3.5 in.
0.7 in.
5 in.
Kamla draws the parallelogram on the left and then uses a scale factor to create the parallelogram on the right. All measurements are in inches. What scale factor does he use?
